Kate Middleton Has a New Tiara Event on Her Royal Calendar
Time for Kate Middleton to dust off one of her many tiaras!
At this point, the Princess of Wales' tiara moments are increasingly rare as she and Prince William attempt to tone down their "we live in fancy castles and are richer than you" vibe and lean into a "here we are on a relatable hike" vibe. But sometimes a tiara is unavoidable. Specifically, during state dinners.
Buckingham Palace just announced that King Charles will be hosting French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron for a state visit over the summer, and that means the royals will be breaking out their collection of crowns.
The state visit is going down from July 8-10, and apparently President Macron and Brigitte will be staying in Windsor since Buckingham Palace is undergoing renovations. Since Prince William and Kate Middleton live in Windsor, they'll almost definitely be included in the state banquet.
So, which tiara will Kate wear? She typically opts for the Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara, a favorite of Princess Diana's that was made for Queen Mary in the early 1900s—inspired by a similar piece owned by Princess Augusta (Queen Mary's grandmother). This tiara was given to Diana as a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth, and Kate's worn it a lot over the years.
The Princess of Wales could also wear The Halo Tiara (made in 1936), which she wore on her wedding day and was originally given to the Queen Mother by her husband prior to their wedding. It's decorated with "739 brilliants and 149 baton diamonds."
Kate's also been known to wear The Lotus Flower Tiara, which was made from a necklace given to the Queen Mother by her husband.
Honestly, she has a lot of options. Anyway, gonna go look at the tiara selection at, idk, Claire's I guess.
